Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Terahertz electromagnetic wave emitter made with high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ was studied, with the aim of increasing the radiation output, widening the radiation frequency, and raising the operation temperature. We worked on the development of techniques which fabricate the device arrays of 1×4~2×7 and efficiently remove the heat generated in the devices, and the improvement of the device structure, and so on. As a result, we succeeded in making the radiation output 2.7 times compared with the highest before this project (from ~30 μW to ~80 μW). The highest intensity was observed at the temperature of 72.5 K, implying the improvement of the operation temperature performance. The highest radiation frequency was successfully expanded to 2.4 THz.
